MDR software license agreement

Our MDR software is released to the public as open-source under the GNU General Public License (GPL). If you use any of the MDR code in your own software you are required by the GPL to release your software under the GPL. It was brought to my attention recently that the GMDR software I mentioned in my Oct. 9, 2008 post was released under the Academic Free License (AFL). This is not allowed since GMDR makes heavy use of our MDR source code. Please make note of this.
